July 25, 1934: "For the second time in two weeks the Molalla fire department was called out at 10:30 p.m. Sunday to extinguish a fire at the Mortenson sawmill. A spark had evidently caught in the debris above the boiler and had been fanned into life by the wind, according to Chief C. W. Kendall. The fire was put out before it had spread far."
